DoppMen's Regatta Front Pocket Get-Away Minamalst Slim Wallet
J**D
Small, lightweight, and beautiful
I was looking for the lightest, slimmest possible wallet, and the Dopp Getaway is just about perfect. For the first couple of weeks I kept sticking my hand in my pocket to make sure it was still there - it's that unobtrusive. It's made out of soft, thin leather (so thin, actually, that the embossed lettering on my credit cards shows through the surface). That might affect the durability, but it certainly keeps the overall bulk of the wallet down. The illustration shows a large embossed crest, but mine arrived with only discreet lettering saying "Dopp" at the bottom - a significant improvement, in my mind. The wallet has pockets for 3 credit cards and a little pouch, open on the top and one side, to hold your cash. There's also one additional pocket that's ideal for other documents you just have to carry. The only slight negative for me was the caramel-colored vinyl lining of the cash pocket. I don't know why they used such a low-class material there. It's invisible from the outside, and not really offensive, but if I could change one thing, that would be it. I debated knocking off a star for it, but the overall function and appearance of the wallet is so excellent that I thought it deserved the full five stars.Overall, if you're disciplined about what you carry, you'll love the small size and low bulk of this wallet.Update 2010: I'm now on my second one of these - they seem to last about 3 years for me. I actually think that's pretty good, given how little material is present. I'm sure the durability is helped because you don't sit on the thing. If somebody sits on your lap a lot, of course, you'll want to factor that in to your expectations. Still a great product, and when I wear this one out, I'll buy another.

Good quality, pleased with purchase - Item I Received Matched Photo, Written Description Was Not 100% Accurate
I was worried about the reviews that the item sent was not the same as in the picture and/or description. Mine matches the picture so I am happy with this because I wanted what was in the photo, not in the written description, so I took a chance.Leather is thin, but that is what it is supposed to be - light and thin - seems reasonable sturdy.Mine has 3 credit card slots (as shown in picture, but description says only 2). There is also a thin pocket behind the 3 card slots which isn't mentioned in the description, but you can see in the photo. This pocket is a larger than the credit card slots.The gusseted money pocket opens like a "V" which is maybe 1/2 wide at the mouth of the pocket (maybe a little bigger) when fully opened. There is a gusset along the bottom edge of the wallet (near where the wallet is stamped "DOPP"), the top edge is wide open. So you can fit a pretty fat wad in this wallet (I wish), but it does fold down to next to nothing.The ID card pocket is loose as many have noticed - my ID falls out easily, so will need to put something else in there friction fit.The little thumb opening on the clear vinyl window seems like a good idea, but I found that you can't really push the card out with your thumb even though the ID will fall out easily - Your thumb puts pressure on the card so it gets stuck on the fabric inside the ID slot and it won't slide. I think if there is another plastic card underneath your ID it might work as intended. No big deal to just pull it out the normal way.Overall, this was exactly what I was looking for - has enough pockets for a couple of credit cards, business cards, ID, and some cash. I preferred this style over money clips that you put your money on the outside, this hides cash inside nicely and still stays thin (unless you got that giant wad of bills…) : )

Fantastic front pocket wallet
First let's get things straight - you have to travel light to carry a wallet like this. It's for Ninjas, spies, and lone wolves, so if you've got clutter issues, look somewhere else. If you are the type of guy who carries five pounds of junk in a monster hunk of leather that looks more like a boat anchor than a wallet, you should get some professional help and find another wallet. This isn't the wallet you are looking for, move along!But, if you only need to carry the essentials, carry them in style, and do so in your front pocket, then you have hit the jackpot. This little baby will serve your needs and serve them well. You won't even know it is in your pocket, which gives it Ninja cred. It holds only what any real man needs to carry - the basic essentials to get through most any jam in a 24 hour period - just like spy gear. And due to its clever design, should you suddenly feel the need to carry pictures of old girlfriends around to boost your ego - too bad - there is no room for them in here or in your life, hence the lone wolf stamp of approval.So let's check the stats on this baby:1. A window slot for your ID. This is for your driver's license, 007 License, or your Ninja Assassin Card - which can also be used as a throwing star. Should you feel the need to carry some false identification to throw off the bad guys, you can tuck it in this same slot.2. There is an open ended pocket for holding cash. It will hold a night's worth winnings at the Baccarat Table and the open end makes getting cash out easy in case you need to bribe an official or payoff a debt or an ex-girlfriend in a hurry.3. It has a middle pocket that is closed on both ends. This is handy for holding receipts (no more than a day or two's worth, mind you), secret spy info that is scribbled down on paper, another Ninja throwing star, a cyanide pill, a condom, or the spare key to the Aston Martin.4. On the opposite face from the windowed ID slot, there are three vertical slots to store credit cards, hotel keys, real or fake security badges, various small implements of the Ninja Assassin or spy trades, or a Get Out of Jail Free Card.Checking my own inventory, I currently have my driver's license, an National Parks annual pass card, and a California Handgun Safety Card (ironic, eh?) all tucked into the windowed pocket. In the cash pocket I have cash, of course. 3 twenties, 1 ten, 3 fives, and 4 ones all folded in half and resting comfortably in the pocket. The closed end pocket has a one receipt and the combination to launch nuclear missiles from a secret location in the Nevada desert. Vertical slot #1 has a credit card and my auto insurance card. Vertical slot #2 has another credit card and my health insurance card. Vertical slot #3 has my ATM card, and a gasoline credit card. That's it - what more could a man need to get by?No photos, expired fishing licenses, or stupid club cards from every retail joint I've ever purchased anything from. Just stuff that you need. This wallet is top notch and will fit comfortably in the front pocket of any pants that any self respecting spy or Ninja would wear. So order with confidence and be glad that you did - this wallet will take care of business.
